What Are People Doing With Their Savings?
Since we started doing business in the late 1990s, a common feedback from our customers has been that using ForSaleByOwner.com was the single-largest savings device they have ever used. Saving $20,000 in commissions on a $340,000 home, for example, allowed a recent husband and wife customer in Stamford, CT, to put some extra money away for retirement. Other customers have earmarked the savings to pay for a child or grandchild's college tuition, or to furnish their new home.

hmm... I'm not sure that you quite understand that in some areas you don't really "save" all that much money. People just advertise their house for just as much money as if it were listed with a broker/agent anyway and expect you to negotiate from there. Sometimes it's just a waste of time anyway and people say "we're not using a realtor here, so you're really getting a deal"...when the truth is that they should come off the price of their home to the tune of the commission an agent would get to begin with. Someone really should tell homeowners that.
